I think the question should be rephrased. Perhaps he means 'why is Earth the only non-round celestial object in the cosmos?' I mean, granted, smaller objects like asteroids may not be round, but larger, planet sized or bigger generally are.

I doubt it. He just doesnt seem to proces what were trying to tell him and is trying to atack us with false acusations

I don't think Earth is also considered as a celestial object by FEers. For them Earth is .... Earth.

Excacley. Earth indeed is earth. That is the best way to describe it

False acusations like the earth is round?

Ok, so (forgive me science for this sentence) the earth isnt a planet and is flat, can there be other disk shaped non planets?

Perhaps but I truley doubt it. And this probaley wouldnt fit my hipothesis that I mentioned on the first page of this thred

Excelsior, what I am about to say, I mean in the most courteous way. It is not meant to be nasty, but must be said bluntly, as more subtle methods have failed. *COLLOQUIAL LANGUAGE FOLLOWS* Dude, your orthography sucks! I mean, seriously, the website itself is equipped with a built-in spell-check device. Dude, if your computer is too primitive for that device to function, or if you're using phonernet, then for Heaven's sake, review your posts before sending them! How the Hell did you get to 12th Grade with orthography like that?! If I had written like that in my Senior year, my teachers would not have let me graduate! And you want to go to Harvard? Dude, orthography that poor makes you look like either a troll or an ass! Get yourself straightened out with a quickness! *COLLOQUIAL LANGUAGE ENDS*

*facepalm* Yaakov please stay on topic insted of this orthogorogathey crud or whatever its called. BIG DEALIO I had a couple spelling mistakes please stay on TOPIC

Orthography: the manner of writing a given language, both in terms of spelling and punctuation.  *COLLOQUIAL LANGUAGE FOLLOWS* Dude, you do realise that because you spell like a nine-year-old, no one takes you seriously? In a passage of two paragraphs, your spelling errors are generally in excess of 10 words. You are making yourself look like an idiot. *COLLOQUIAL LANGUAGE ENDS*

I for one am in complete agreement with everything in Yakov ben Avraham's post.
If I had written as Excelsior John writes, I wouldn't even have gotten to 12th grade until I learned how to spell . I make mistakes, too, but I try to correct them before I post. I'll be polite to Excelsior John. I'll just say "Orthography that poor makes you look like either  a troll or an ass." 

As far as getting back to the OP is concerned.:
I wonder how many true believers of the Flat Earth Society have ever been to sea and observed just how flat the flat earth is or is not or  the flat earth planet or whatever shape the earth is ?  That "recovering a ship which has gone over the horizon with a telescope" is just one more FE fallacy that is easily de-bunked if you have ever been to sea for just one example of how fallacious the so-called "FE Theory" really is for the most part .

Googleotomy, Greeting! To be honest, I've never been to sea. Is there a way to prove the Earth round by going to sea? If you've read my posts, you will have observed that my knowledge of Jewish Scripture is first rate, but my knowledge of science is nil. The Scripture SEEMS to support a FET, but I may be wrong about that. If science proves a round Earth, then, the Scripture, which I must accept as true, must be re-evaluated to see what it actually does say, since my current interpretation of it will have been proven wrong.

I have been to sea and the earth sure does seem darn flat to me. As for the telescope thing and as a Zetetcist would be vary intrested in doing this experiment next time I go to the sea
